Jenny Wiley's Incredible Journey of Survival

The story of Jenny Wiley, an Appalachian pioneer who was taken, along with her baby, as a prisoner from her cabin by a group of Cherokee and Shawnee warriors. After months of captivity, she managed to escape and made her way home to her husband and friends.

Sounds a lot like the story of Mary Draper Ingles. So much tragedy that the settlers and pioneers went through!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that courageous as Jenny may have been, she was very unlikely to be the total smokeshow you had in the thumbnail.😂
